The Ia Plata Cannery.

We are glad TO learn that, through the
the cannery establishment at La Plata is about
to be set on IFS Ieet again and put in full opera
tion during the coming season. Messrs. War
field and Thomson, two energetic gentlemen Of
Baltimore city, with abundant experience in the
cannery business and all necessary capital, have
leased the property and will conduct it during
the season. As will be seen by their advertise
ment in another column, these gentlemen have
authorized Mr.. Chapman 10 contract with
farmers for the growth of sugar corn, upon
which the cannery will be chiefly operated. 1t
will te seen that they are making definite con.
tracts upon regular business principles, by
which the farmer will tie fully protected from
any loss. The farmer contracts 10 plant a Ger
tin numt er of acres in sweet corn and the can
n.ry contracts TO accept the Whole product OF
the planting, when delivered at the car merry, at
definite cash price ser ton, with the shuck on.
This furnishes the preduce certain and reli
ale market for what he grows and the price
they pay is The same with is said 10 have
proved quite remunerative in Anne Arundel
county. The company desire TO contract for
the planting of 500 acres in sweet corn at once
A considerab BILE portion of this has already been
taken, but there is still opportunity 10 make
a contract. The company Will furnish The seed
corn of the most approved variety and they
recommend that it te planted in check 81 feet
each way with application of about $50 TO
400 pounds o. pbosp hate er acre.
la view of the present unsatisfactory state OF
the tobacco market we feel sure that many Of
our farmers will best consult their interests by
devoting an acre or two of iheit land plowed
for tobacco to The growth of the sugar corn.
We hope that this enterprise will be literally
patronized and sustained ,as it will undoui tedly
prove TO be great benefit 10 oar people.

The Demands Of Labor Breaking Up
Valuable Plants.

HAvERHILL, MASS, March 4.-The
Shoe Manufacturers Ass ociation, in
view of the rapid withdrawal Of shoe
mar ufacturers from this city, have is.
sued manifesto, stating that within
the last two years firms manufac uring
ST. 900, 900 worth OF goods per annum,
representing one tenth Of the entire
products and employing 800 oper-
stives, have been driven away by the
exorbitant demands of labor organiza
tons, and it seems probable that from
similar eauSe an equal amount OF
business will be lost within the next
few months. 1t is believed that by
proper concessions on the part OF labor
and by property owners this may be
avoided. Its stated that country fac
tories now produce many of the cheap
er grades formerly made here at a
lower price than they can be manu-.
featured by local factories; and labor
organic ,tione, while clamoiing against
cheap prison labor, have by their de.
msnds built up body of low priced
workmen in the country towns over
whom they can exert little influence
aud whose competition is feared. The
advantages Of common manufactur-
ing center are so great, however, that
it is believed by general concessions
on the part Of the operatives Hsver-
hill may retain its business. Manu-
facturers have in the past made such
general advances to their workmen
that they cannot afford to pay them
the prevailing rates.

LITERARY NOTES.

HARPER's YOUNG PEOPLE this week
contains an interesting story by How
ard Pyle, entitled "Bearskin," that
will be read with avidity by our little
folks There is also much interesting
miscellaneous matter.

The Critic of March 9th. 1t caused a
sensation in Chicago, it will be rec
objected, not 30 much because 1t ques-
toned Shakspeare's authorship OF thu
play, as because it was submitted for
lecture on Practical Politics." In
q leading editorial The Critic collates
the opinions Of various eminent 6hak-
sperisns on the subject Of the poets
relations to the play. The article is
the work Of a well known expert who
quotes freely from Furniysll, Fleay,
Halliwell-Phillipps, Gervinus, Dow.
den, S.okes, Augustus Hare and the
German critic 0eehelhsuser, with
whose decision he substantially
agrees. The subject is one of the
most perplexing in the whole range OF
Shakspearean controversy. Brown
ing's new book is reviewed in the
same number OF the paper.
0uTINa for March is made especially
interesting by the contribution of
Lieut.. John Blgelow, jr., of the United
States Cavalry, entitled "Atter Geron-
imo." Thomas Stevens and his won
derful trip around the world on a

New ORLEANS, La, March 3.-There
are few who remained in Memphis
during the terrible scourge OF 1878
that do not remember kindly look
ing old lady, who was known as
mother Wilson. She wa3 cal ed from
her home 10 this city to go to Mem.
phis as fever nurse, and those of
your city who were fortunate enough
to secu her services will attest to her
ttticieaey as such.
The thester goers of New Orleans
remember the old apple woman that
sat beside her basket in front of the
Academy of Music for long, long years.
The cold winds and rains Of winter
never prevented her from taking her
accustomed place nightly. The news
boys, especially, knew her, and how
ever willing to pilfer peanuts from
other vendors, her stand was honora-
bly, exempted. If the old W man was
asleep, as was frequently the case, the
boys would take what they wanted
snd leave the change on The stand.
she was known to almos. every
woman aud child in this city as a
veteran yellow fever nurse in past
epidemics. In the epidemic in this
city ia 1858 she did noble service with
the Howard Association, and all SUBJ
stquent epidemics found her at her
post.
For the past few years che has been
compelled to relinquish her apple
stand, ar d as she was seen no more
many thought her dead. Bat on
Tuesday the end came. and today all
that was earthly of Mother Wilson
was borne from her residence on

Ninth, to its final resting place. She
leaves three married daughters be-

GRASS GROWERS MOVING
TO EFFECT A NEEDED CHANGE
WITH FARMERS.
Convention to Be Held on the Third
OF May Next at the Aber-
deem opera House.
IcoRlEsPosDESoE OF TIE APPEAL. |

ABERDEEN, MIS-. NJ arch "a formal
call hes been issueo by NJ. r, B
Haughton, secretary, for a convention
of hay makers and grass growers, to
be held at the Opera House, in this
city, on The Sd day of May, 1887. The
resolutions herewith Enclosed speak
for themselves:
RESOLUTIONS.
WHEREAS, The climate, soil and
other natural advantages OF Mississippi
are most admirably adapted to the
growing of grasses, hays snd other pro-
ducts of that nature, which not only
yield here abundant hsrvests with Gull
tivstioD, but also produce fine crops of
the most nutritious, valuable grasses
without cultivation, thus showing that
Mississippi is by nature the home OF
the grass growers; and whereas, these
natural advantages have so impressed
our people that the growing and pack
ing OF hays is becoming one OF the r
great pursuits, and is engaging the
time and attention OF thousands of her
citizens: and whereas, it is necessary
for the State TO awake to the resliza-
ton of this great resource at their
doors and to take steps to protect and
develop it; and where's, this can only
be done by systematic and organized
action, by which a fuller knowledge
of the subj set in all its branches can
be obtained, by which the value and
relation to Other pursuits and sections
can be ascertained, by which the
world can be- informed of and i'm
pressed with Missi sippi's great wealth
in this great product, and by which
transportation facilities and equality
and fairness of treatment by railroad
and steamboat companies can be OBJ
tanned therefore be it
Resolved, That We as represents
tives of the citizens of this county and
section invite and urgently request
the citizens of all parts of the State
who are interested in this matter, in
which number are included also those
interested in dairying, stock raising,
fruit growing and general farming, to
meet IN this city on the Sd Of May,
1887, for the purpose of organizing
luo bIheb CIUWoIb hAuClhlIJu Vi
Mississippi" Papers will be read and
talks on the various subjects con-
nected Herewith will be given. We
believe that this will bring about the
results desired and We are sa'isfied
that the people OF cur State will ro-
spond heartily to this call. Cores
pondence is solicited. Information
upon the matters bearing
on the suhjsct. Please address the Sec
seiary. Papers throughout the State
and all those interested in the pros
periiy OF Mississippi, are requested to
ard to sgitats the matter.

ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, March 4.-The sick
ness amoung the pupils at st. Joseph's
Convent in South st. Louis, which
wss supposed to have been caus; d by
poisoned canned fruits, was, the at
tending physician says, but the
natural results Of over eating. We'd
nesday of last week was the first day
OF Lent, and the children had abstained
from eating meat from that time until
Sunday. On the latt day they were
therefore uncommonly hungry, and
INDUCED their appetites too freely,
with the result that many of them
succumbed to indigestion. The physi-
clan says there was no sign OF poison
in anything eaten by the pupils on
that day.
